Install Android OS to replace Windows OS on Surface RT - Windows RT General

As above, does it supported? Seem Surface RT is ARM based, so can it install Android on it to replace the windows?

Can Remix OS be installed on the Surface RT?

Hi, I know that this OS cannot be installed on surface like on a desktop computer, cause of his Arm Architecture. But Nexus 9 have Arm and there's a way for install it:laugh:
Can surface rt users have hope?
Can we vote for get Remix OS official support?
Cheers:;_
Surface RT has a locked bootloader that can load Microsoft-only code. So actually you're out of luck. Why did you buy such a ****ty device at the first place!

Android 7 x86 project

Who have USB hub,, keyboard and a flash-drive with android x86 7? We have intel x64 proc. So we have also boot manager(f8 or f12 key,, or delete)))
Someone should do a flashable zip for twrp 3 x86.
Is this possible?

Running Windows 10: Is there a 64-bit linux kernel with KVM support?

Here are many links to different kernels/custom firmwares based on:
1) Official ASUS firmware for Android 5 and 6
2) Lineage 14.1 for Android 7
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...t-kvm-kernel-virtual-machine-enabled-t3777356
The question is: do any of these use 64-bit linux kernels instead of 32-bit?
When I checked out BORET's architecture using the uname -a command it says:
3.10.72BORETS_ROM_Kernel-x86_64_moor .......... i686
Does the i686 part indicate that it's only operating in 32-bit mode instead of 64-bit despite the mention of x86_64?
The problem being: I'm unable to install any Linux Deploy AMD64 distros., and I suspect it's because the architecture only supports i386/i686? You see Qemu has a limitation with RAM:
1) 32-bit on 32-bit = 2 GB max
2) 64-bit on 32-bit = 3 GB max
3) 64-bit on 64-bit = unlimited
Hence, if I wanted to allocate 3.5 GB RAM to a virtual machine then I would need the linux kernel and linux deploy distro to be running in 64-bit mode.

As far as I know Asus did not release anything 64bit for our phone

I flashed the privacy sandbox beta with flashtool. Seems pretty stable

I think you mean "64 bit only". x64 is a shorthand for x86_64, which is a totally different CPU architecture.
thats wrong. x86 is for 32 bit and x64 for 64 bit.

Did you even read what I said? Those are DIFFERENT CPU ARCHITECTURES.
x86 is 32bit x86
x86_64 is 64bit x86.
x64 is SHORTHAND for x86_64.
These phones are ARM CPUs. ARMv7 is 32bit. ARMv8 is 64bit.

Question Is it possible to enable pKVM support for the Poco F3 manually using root, or does it require custom kernels to be made by ROM developers?

The title pretty much, the pixel 6 and 7 support pKVM, which allows us to boot Windows 11 ARM or ARM64 Linux images in a virtual machine.
I saw somewhere that it either requires root to enable, or it must be enabled when the kernel is compiled, is it possible for this to work on the F3?
Interesting question.
I think we won't get pKVM-support, unless someone gets GKIs (Generic Kernel Images) working on Alioth (or perhaps more accurately, on the Snapdragon 870 sm8250).
Our device's 4.19 Kernel is too old, and doesn't have Rust-support, which I think is needed to run the crosvm VM Manager. It's part of Android 13's Virtualisation-Module, under the package-name "com.android.virt"
The Pixel 6 and 7 are running a much newer kernel, and it's GKI.
I don't know about pKVM-Support of other GKI devices. There could be more requirements for pKVM-support (besides arm64, GKI-based Kernel and Android 13).
Here are some articles I checked out:
